Change Status Calculator
The pending change indicator
![](../../Windchill_Help_Center/images/GlyphChgPending.gif)
is a status indicator that displays on an object when it is an affected object of a change request or change notice during certain states. The resulting change indicator

is a status indicator that displays on an object when it is a resulting object of a change notice is in a certain state. By default, the pending change indicator
![](../../Windchill_Help_Center/images/GlyphChgPending.gif)
and the resulting change indicator show up only on affected and resulting objects in the
Implementation state. You may, however, want these indicators to display on objects in other states.
| There are other pending status indicators, such as for unincorporated changes or variances, to which this utility does not apply. |
Using the Change Status Calculator utility allows you to control the display of the indicators. Use the following procedure:
1. Update the following properties (see properties.html for descriptions of these properties):
◦ wt.change2. pendingResultingStates
◦ wt.change2.pendingOrderStates
◦ wt.change2.pendingRequestStates
2. Run the Change Status Calculator from a windchill shell:
windchill wt.change2.ChangeStatusCalculator
parameters include:
Parameter | Description |
---|
-preview | Gives you the number of objects that will be updated without actually performing the update. |
-onlyResulting | Updates only the objects where the resulting indicator might have changed. This can be used with the preview option. |
-help | Shows the valid usage of the Change Status Calculator. |
The following example shows how to display the resulting change indicator on resulting objects when the change notice is in the Under Review or Implementation state.
1. Open wt.properties (in \<windchill>\codebase\wt.properties) with a text editor
2. Modify wt.change2.pendingResultingStates
wt.change2.pendingResultingStates=UNDERREVIEW,IMPLEMENTATION
3. Save the file.
4. Open a windchill shell.
5. Run the following:
windchill wt.change2.ChangeStatusCalculator
